best parties all begin to blur together

videos for this list we're taking a look
at some of the most well known or
notorious spring break destinations that
have suffered from their own popularity
number 10 South Beach Florida
this picturesque stretch of sand along
the coast of Miami is a popular
destination for beachgoers year-round
its popularity is such in fact that many
feel that it's become a tourist trap the
city as a whole is notoriously expensive
and everything vaguely related to
nightlife entertainment and hospitality
feels especially pricey for the record
everything we've said up until now
applies year-round but when spring break
kicks off all of the aforementioned
conditions intensify the beach becomes
painfully overcrowded and given that
spring break is a time to party you're
likely to be contending with a lot of
obnoxious drunks with its Art Deco
architecture and iconic venues the
appeal of South Beach is undeniable but
it's simply too crowded and overpriced
to be truly enjoyable number 9 Montego
Bay Jamaica
if you've already hit up a few of the
major spring break destinations within
the United States the idea of venturing
to a foreign country is sure to appeal
with its beautiful shorelines famously
laid-back attitude and crystal clear
waters Jamaica seems like the perfect
getaway but in Montego Bay widely
considered to be the Spring Break
capital of Jamaica you'll find a lot of
the same as you did back home the
parties are undeniably big ones and the
theming is a bit more regionally
specific but a well kept secret Montego
Bay is not the city is absolutely
inundated with American College students
bringing with them all the conventional
Spring Break cliches some people also
complain that the bugs in the area can
be bothersome number 8 Myrtle Beach
South Carolina located a little further
north than most spring break
destinations myrrh
Beach has long attracted families and
students alike the shoreline is
undeniably beautiful and between the
boardwalk amusement park rides and
various attractions it has a distinctly
retro feel and not in the cool way the
problem is retro sometimes goes hand in
hand with dated another word that
doesn't feel inaccurate when talking
about Myrtle Beach the boardwalk itself
is well maintained
but everything else feels decidedly
run-down and unfortunately come Spring
Break the crowds that this South
Carolina beach town attracts are
similarly off-putting in 2015
coed comm gave it the dishonor of
ranking it the third trashiest spring
break destination they technically meant
it as a compliment but it's nonetheless
indicative of the overall vibe number 7
Lake Havasu City Arizona Spring Break
festivities tend to be more popular
along the east coast but the western
United States is not without its own
hotbed of Spring Break shenanigans good
and bad in the absence of an ocean the
youth of Arizona flocked to Lake Havasu
during their Spring Break where the city
greets them with open arms
most Spring Break cities seem to have a
love-hate relationship with the annual
influx of partiers but the Lake Havasu
Tourism Bureau proudly advertises itself
as the West's biggest Spring Break party
promising would-be visitors that no
place on earth throws a Spring Break
party like Lake Havasu that's true the
beaches of the city's namesake Lake are
arguably even more crowded than most and
the overwhelming number of boats only
exacerbates the problem number 6 French
Quarter New Orleans Louisiana there are
few destinations in America more famous
for their nightlife and love of a good
party than New Orleans specifically the
iconic French Quarter for many a trip to
this city of music food and revelry
ranks high on the Travel bucket list
and while Mardi Gras is indeed something
special especially the costumes and
performances most of the year the French
Quarter while at least Bourbon Street
feels more like an adult daycare
complete with all the sights sounds and
smells that this descriptor brings to
mind be it Spring Break or just an
average Saturday night the aroma of
various bodily fluids hangs heavy in the
air
it's a shame because the music and
architecture are truly inspiring but the
party reputation leads people of all
ages to overindulge to the extreme
ruining an otherwise beautiful place
number five Daytona Beach Florida
Daytona is a real event city as the
headquarters of NASCAR it has the
distinction of hosting the Daytona 500
each year in February which attracts
approximately 200,000 people just a few
months later the city once again plays
host to droves of enthusiastic visitors
rather than filling up bleachers to
watch a race however Spring Breakers
crowd the streets bars beaches and cheap
accommodations Daytona Beach has a long
history as a spring break destination
but its age is seriously beginning to
show daivi motels abound and there's a
notable lack of culture and quality
entertainment it's fine if you're just
looking to drink and chill by the beach
but all things considered the reality of
Daytona Beach falls far short of its
reputation number 4 Punta Cana Dominican
Republic the Dominican Republic has long
been a popular beach destination for
travelers of all ages if you want
nothing more than to kick back on the
beach read a book sip on a fruity
cocktail and work on your tan this is
the perfect place to do it but wait
what's that rumbling in the distance no
it's not a stampede or a hurricane it's
other spring breakers like you coming to
storm the beach there are plenty of
places to hide from the crowds in the
Dominican but Punta Cana is not one of
them Spring Breakers will appreciate the
cheap drinks and seemingly endless party
but the accommodations are steep if
you're only looking to check the basic
experience Spring Break boxes might as
well do it closer to home and save on
the airfare number 3 South Padre Island
Texas they say that everything is bigger
in Texas and in the case of South Padre
Island that certainly holds true for the
lead down located off the coast of Texas
on a barrier island this resort town is
home to just under 3,000 residents
during spring break however South Padre
is hit with many times that number of
young visitors looking to party and
while the island is undeniably charming
and beautiful it simply does not have
the infrastructure to support so many
people especially not people who are
partying all
day from the beach to the hotel pools to
the various bars and live music events
there's simply no personal space we get
it people don't go on spring break to
escape the crowd but the party on South
Padre Island might just have you feeling
claustrophobic
number two Cancun Mexico a trip to
Cancun for many is the ultimate Spring
Break getaway just the word Cancun is
enough to conjure up abstract images of
beach parties hazy days spent in the Sun
and the best time of your life sadly as
with many fantasies the reality of a
trip to Cancun for Spring Break is an
exercise in disappointment heading south
of the border seems to inspire Spring
Breakers to become extra reckless and
self-destructive the drinking is
excessive and the frat boy culture is
exceedingly hard to escape adding to the
already substantial risks of drinking
too much or just being around people who
are it's the fact that Cancun is the
subject of a u.s. travel advisory it's
recommended that travelers exercise
caution due to elevated crime rates
number one Panama City Beach Florida
claiming the top spot we have a spring
break destination that requires little
introduction Lake Havasu might be the
most popular party in the western US but
Panama City Beach is the spring break
destination in America period the thing
is everybody knows it and so come Spring
Break PCB doesn't just become a massive
party it becomes a total massive
disaster the fun gets so consistently
out of hand that the city has had to put
various restrictions in place including
a zero tolerance policy for alcohol on
the beach during peak months you won't
ever be lacking for something to do but
with so many people competing for space
and the rowdiness reaching such extreme
levels there's a real limit to how much
fun anyone's actually gonna have do you
